Texas Homecoming
“She was just asking Cade for news of her brother. The flood of eager volunteers that had flowed out of Texas had come back a trickle of disheartened veterans. Across the state, women cried for men they’d lost, prayed for those yet to come home, gave thanks for the ones who returned.
Pilar had expected that Cade would come home. Laveau had written that Cade was alive and just as conceited as ever. Laveau had hated Cade since he was old enough to understand the reason for the enmity between their... families. Cade had been more defiant than hostile. Wild as a young man, full of himself, handsome in a boyish fashion, ready to do whatever caught his fancy, Cade had cut a wide swath across the county, leaving a trail of mischief that had caused her grandmother’s bosom to heave with indignation that God didn’t send down a plague to destroy him and every other Wheeler. She said they were common, had no respect for authority, no traditions to uphold, no fear of God.
Except for defiance, the man who faced Pilar appeared to have little in common with the boy she remembered.MoreLess
